Jack and I want to wish Daddy a Happy 29th Birthday!! We love you!

I couldn’t let this day go by with out at least posting to celebrate Jack hitting the 6 month mark!! We can’t believe he is already 6 months old, it seems like we just brought him home yesterday. Jack has changed so much in the last 6 months and we have enjoyed every minute of watching him grow. He is now eating solid foods, almost sitting on his own, rolling over both ways and babbling “da da”. We are loving this stage and looking forward to all the fun things to come. We will have his 6 month appointment on Thursday so we will be able to post a more accurate weight but I am pretty sure that he is about 21 pounds.

Hopefully we will be able to post some pictures soon!! Happy 6 month Birthday Jack!

A big Happy Mother’s Day to all the mommies out there. It was fun to celebrate Jackie’s first official mother’s day with both her family and my family. Jack was a good boy today for his mommy and he even took some time to pose for a couple pictures…I am having trouble getting the pictures to work so we will get back to you on that one.

The last few weeks have been completely crazy for us. On April 25th we moved out of our house in Greensburg to a teeny tiny apartment in Beaver. The move didn’t go well and we ended up having to move the rest of our things on Sunday. The apartment that we had planned on moving into was in terrible shape. It looked as if it had never been cleaned and the carpet was so terribly stained that it needed to be replaced. So needless to say we spent an entire week living with Scott’s parents (thank you again Mom and Dad!!). We officially sold our house on Monday April 27th to this great young couple who I am sure will enjoy it as much as we did. On a good note, at the house closing, Scott got a call for a job interview with Blackhawk school district so say a prayer that it works out.

Jack is continuing to do really well despite our chaos. We started him on solid foods this week and he loves them!! We started with carrots, and then squash, and now he is on sweet potatoes. He really enjoyed the carrots and sweet potatoes. He also continues to grow like a weed. He is close to being out of 9 month clothes. We are loving every minute that we get to spend with our little man.

It is so hard to believe that Jack is already 4 months old! The time has gone by so quickly and it has been so great to see all of the changes that Jack has gone through. He can now hold his head up on his own and he is getting close to sitting up. He is really aware of everything and likes to feel everything he can get his hands on. Jack has also started laughing. He loves when daddy tickles him and nibbles on his chubby legs and belly.

At his doctors appointment this afternoon, Jack got a clean bill of health and a few more shots. He tipped the scales at 17 pounds 12 ounces and 27 inches long. He is in the 90th percentile for weight and off the charts for length (he gets that from his Daddy for sure). We are going to be trying some solid foods with Jack next week and I am sure we will have some great pictures to share.
